Applesauce Cookies Ingredients

1 cup Applesauce (unsweetened best)	0.5 teaspoon Nutmeg
1 teaspoon Baking soda	0.5 teaspoon Salt
1/2 cup Shortening	2 cups All-purpose flour
2 large Eggs	1 cup Sugar
0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon	1 cup Chopped nuts optional
0.5 teaspoon Ground cloves	12 ounce Semisweet chocolate chips (1 package)

Instructions for Applesauce Cookies

Need 3 bowls! Largest for Sugar and shortening, Middle for flour and spices AND Smallest for Applesauce and baking soda

Blend applesauce and baking soda together; set aside. In a second bowl, combine shortening, sugar and eggs; set aside. Blend together flour, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and salt in a large mixing bowl; blend in shortening mixture wiht flour mixture. Add applesauce mixture; stir in nuts and chocolate chips. Drop by teaspoon onto ungreased baking sheets; bake at 350F for 10 to 12 minutes. Makes 2 to 3 dozen cookies.

Works well with splenda, too. Making it safe for diabetics. Just don't include the chocolate chips. May want to make the drops a bit smaller, too! Tend to bubble up a lot more without the chocolate chips.

The recipe doesn't give amount of shortening (butter, oil, crisco, etc) I'd like to try it but don't have this necessary ingredient or the amount. Can you provide this needed info? Thanks. Connie Conniegod3@yahoo.com

I don't know how to updated this recipe - i'm finding that my Big Oven software is sometimes deleting ingredients OR changing them! VERY FRUSTRATING! Here's how much shortening (sorry) - 1/2 cup shortening. Hope this works for you. Thanks for looking
